KITTENCAL'S CRISPY COATING MIX FOR MOIST OVEN BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash chicken pieces in cold water (leave the chicken moist so the coating will hold on to it) set aside.
• In the plastic mixing bag that comes with the coating mix, combine all ingredients (except the chicken pieces) and shake bag to combine thoroughly.
• Set oven to 425°F.
• Set oven rack to lowest-bottom position.
• Line a large 15-inch baking sheet with foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Shake each piece of chicken in the bag to coat thoroughly with mixture and place on the baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
• Bake for 45 minutes (you might have to bake for about 5 minutes more if the backs are attached to the legs).
• *NOTE* Sometimes if you are using frozen defrosted chicken there might still be some water left in the chicken that will come out when baking, if you find that there is a lot of water in your pan about halfway through baking, just carefully remove the pan with a towel or oven mitts and hold over the sink to drain the water, and place back in the oven to bake (just enough to drain, careful not to remove the chicken from the pan and throw into the sink!).
• The less water in the bottom of the pan the crispier you chicken will be).

• Dip chicken in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.

KITTENCAL'S BEST BLASTED RAPID-ROAST WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken inside and out well under cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel.
• In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken.
• Using clean hands rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired).
• Place the lemon/s inside the cavity.
• Place the chicken into a baking dish (you can place the chicken onto a small roasting rack if desired and you may want to add in a little water to the pan to prevent smoking).
• Using cotton string tie the legs together tightly.
• At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours (not more than that or the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken).
• Set oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roast the chicken at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue roasting for about 40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches about 175 to 180 degrees F. about 1 hour or a little less).
• Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing (do not slice before that time or the juices will flow out!).
